power and features continuous adjustable output power. The intelligent backlight control function

reduces power usage. The optical light source has a rugged appearance and comfortable design

to clients’ requirements.

Features

 Wave ID information can be transmitted when used with the matched optical power meter.

 Tone generation: 270HZ, 330HZ, 1KHZ, 2KHZ

 Adjustable output power

 Output power value is shown on LCD display

 Intelligent backlight control (light intensity can be adjusted according to ambient

light, greatly reducing power consumption)

 AA alkaline batteries and AC adapter for power supply

 Low battery indicator

Chapter 5: Operation

5.1 Types of Power Supply

The light source can be either battery-powered or AC adaptor-powered, giving total flexibility

for most testing sites and situations.

5.1.1 AA battery

When using AA battery, will display on the left top of the screen (fig.5-1)

Battery Power indicator

5-1

There are five grades of battery power indication:

70%-100% power

40%-70% power

30%-40% power

20%-30% power

Less than 20%, the power meter will shut down.

Replace batteries. Refer to below figure 5-2

5-2

Push the clip fastener on the battery compartment cover down. Remove the battery compartment

cover and remove all three batteries, making a note of their positive and negative orientation. The

negative battery connector should be against the spring. Insert 3 new 1.5VV AA batteries. Refit the

battery compartment cover. The clip fastener should click shut.

5.5 Automatic Wavelength Identification



Connect the light source with the matched optical power meter.



Enable light source under “Wave ID” operation mode. Press

on light

source to laser on its matched power meter. Hold down for few seconds. Light

source will enter Wave ID mode. “--AU” will be shown on the upper right of the LCD screen.



Enable power meter under “Wave ID” operation mode: Hold down for few

seconds. Power meter will enter Wave ID mode. “--AU”will be shown on the upper

right of the LCD screen.



Once the ID information is changed on light source (press to change wavelength),

after 3 to

5 seconds the detected information on the optical power meter will automatically

update to match. Refer to figure 5-14.



Exit Wave ID mode: Hold down again to exit Wave ID mode on power meter and

Output frequency from the optical light source: Press

to release

light from

the unit. Press quickly. The light source will output frequencies of 270Hz,

330Hz, . 1KHz, or 2KHz accordingly, which will display on the upper right of the LCD

screen. In the meantime, THE MATCHED OPTICAL POWER METER will detect the

corresponding frequency automatically from the light source. Refer to figure

5-15.
